All things are transient,
The rowan tree grows,
season on season.
Senses the earth breathe
and shift in her roots.
The sun feeds her leaves.
Blossoms fruit to ripe red berries.
Away the leaves fall,
Night sky winters,
And frost snaps at her branches
She will repeat to fade.
a reposting, well its that time of year eh ?
I remember commenting on this one before...
This has to be one of my favourite poems of yours, Carole, because transience, renewal/rebirth can be applied to so many of life's experiences. This conveys such beauty and depth...
Glad you reposted for new readers. "Night sky winters' is superb, since usually one thinks of animals or people 'wintering'; very apt.

Hi - really like it - very evocative of the season. B
i particularly like the first and last lines, all things are transient, she will repeat to fade, all things are transient, she will repeat to fade. Really like how they hold the poem.
